June 13, 2013-In a battle between two Westchester Youth Soccer League (WYSL) teams, the FC Somers Force defeated Yonkers United Rush Conquerors, 4-1, to capture the Boys-Under-12 ENY Upper 90 Cup. The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) championship game was played under sunny skies on June 1 at Stringham Park in LaGrange.

"We play Yonkers often in the Westchester Youth Soccer League and the difference today was our manpower," commented FC Somers coach Mark Rossiter. "We outlasted them on this hot day as we had six substitutes and they only had one."
